16`Ye did not choose out me, but I chose out you, and did appoint you, that ye might go away, and might bear fruit, and your fruit might remain, that whatever ye may ask of the Father in my name, He may give you.
17`These things I command you, that ye love one another;
18if the world doth hate you, ye know that it hath hated me before you;
19if of the world ye were, the world its own would have been loving, and because of the world ye are not -- but I chose out of the world -- because of this the world hateth you.
20`Remember the word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; if me they did persecute, you also they will persecute; if my word they did keep, yours also they will keep;
21but all these things will they do to you, because of my name, because they have not known Him who sent me;
22if I had not come and spoken to them, they were not having sin; but now pretext they have not for their sin.
